Canneries in Maryland Seek 28 600 Workers for Peak Season
Maryland war manpower chief Lawrence B. Fenneman estimated 28 600 workers are needed to process food in canneries and packing plants at the late summer peak. A War Industries survey suggested 15 200 former cannery workers may be available, leaving a 13 400 shortage to be filled mainly by war prisoners immigrants and foreign workers. About 5 000 additional workers could be recruited locally when the processing crisis arrives.
